Staying safe in the bathroom is important for people with joint pain, muscle weakness, or physical disability. If you have any of these issues, you will need to take precaution in your bathroom.
You may need to have safety bars in your bathroom. Grab bars should be secured vertically or horizontally to the wall, not diagonally. Do not use towel racks as grab bars. They cannot support your weight. You will need two grab bars: one to help you get in and out of the tub, and another to help you stand from a sitting position.
